How Long Can Trivita Sublingual B-12 Be Taken?

Hello, I have been taking Trivita s sublingual B12 for a long time. It has 5mg of B6 along with folic acid. I am a 72 year old male in good health and a health care professional. Question? should I be concerned about the amount of B6 that I have taken for such a long time? And how beneficial do you feel is the Folic Acid component of this vitamin? I am a recently retired Dr. of Optometry and of course concerned for macular health etc.

Hello,

You should not be concerned about taking large dosage of vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid for long. None of them is being accumulated in body neither has side effects. You can stop them since you have been having enough and no more is needed.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
